SEMA Software 2D/3D CAD/CAM North America

WHERE SEMA FITS

Built into your existing process - not bolted on.

Whether you're a modular manufacturer, a prefab component manufacturer, a structural modeling team, or a timber builder scaling up, SEMA integrates directly into your workflow — eliminating the translation gaps that cost time and money.

Your design tools stay

SEMA integrates with existing BIM environments — including Revit, Tekla, and IFC workflows — so your design teams don’t have to start from scratch. Import models, convert them into native SEMA components, and keep moving.

SEMA becomes the bridge

SEMA connects design intent with fabrication output, translating your structural models — including roof, floor, and wall panels — into machine-ready data, shop drawings, and BOMs automatically.

Factory receives clean data

CNC machines, panel tables, and assembly crews all receive structured, accurate output. No manual re-entry. No interpretation errors. No disconnect between the office and the shop floor.

PAIN POINTS

We know what's slowing you down.

Prefab manufacturers, structural design teams, and timber builders across North America face the same core bottlenecks. SEMA is built to eliminate them.

FRAGMENTED DESIGN-TO-PRODUCTION WORKFLOWS

BOMs are missing. Shop drawings are incomplete. Systems don’t connect.
Teams are forced to recreate data that should flow automatically from design to production.

ENGINEERING EFFORT THAT DOESN'T SCALE

As production volume increases, engineering hours grow at the same rate. Without automation and reusable component logic, adding units means adding headcount — indefinitely.

CNC UNDERUTILIZATION

Idle machines. Inefficient programs. Lost capacity. When upstream data is unstructured, poor data quality turns directly into downtime and rework downstream.

REWORK BETWEEN DESIGN INTENT AND FABRICATION

The gap between what the engineer designed and what the factory can actually build creates a cycle of revisions, delays, and on-site corrections that directly erodes margin.

NO STANDARDIZED COMPONENT LOGIC

Every project starts from scratch. There is no library of reusable panels, connections, or assemblies — so teams reinvent the wheel on every job.

COORDINATION GAPS BETWEEN ENGINEERING AND FABRICATION

Engineering offices and manufacturing teams use different tools, languages, and assumptions — leading to misalignment that only surfaces when it’s too late to fix cheaply.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Built to solve your specific problems.

SEMA’s features map directly onto your workflow — connecting design and production without friction.

CONTINUOUS 2D/3D MODEL CONNECTIVITY

Change it in 2D, see it in 3D — instantly. And vice versa. No exports. No sync steps. No version confusion. Your model stays live, consistent, and ready for fabrication.

COMPONENT MASTER DATA LIBRARY

Build once, reuse forever. Define panels, connection details, and full assemblies as reusable templates. From a single window to a passive house wall — once created, always accurate and consistent.

AUTOMATED SHOP DRAWING & BOM GENERATION

Generate fabrication-ready shop drawings for every panel or roof assembly in a single operation. Material optimization, elevations, section cuts, and dimensions are automatically compiled and ready for output.

DIRECT CNC MACHINE DATA TRANSFER

SEMA generates machine-ready output for CNC and timber processing systems. Drill patterns, cuts, notches, nailing points, and no-nail zones are encoded directly in the model and transmitted to the machine without manual re-entry.

IFC / BIM BIDIRECTIONAL EXCHANGE

Import IFC models and convert them into fully native SEMA components — not just geometric shells. Export back to Revit, Tekla, or any IFC-compliant software.

WALL OPTIMIZATION & MULTI-WALL SCHEDULING

Automatically group walls by production table length to maximize utilization of your assembly line. Combine panels across projects to fully utilize 40 ft tables with zero wasted capacity.

GETTING STARTED

Up and running faster than you think.

SEMA onboarding goes beyond setup. We help you build the master data your business needs — a standardized, reusable foundation for all your projects. The result: faster workflows, consistent quality, and a team that is productive from day one.

WEEK 1-2

Sales Phase

We analyze your design-to-production process, align it with your BIM environment, and set clear success metrics with your engineering and production leaders - ensuring measurable results from day one.
WEEK 3-4

Onboarding

After signed contract

SEMA is configured to match your workflows — from CNC integration to ready-to-use master data templates, including your standard wall, roof, and floor systems.
WEEK 5-8

Onboarding

First value

Learn by doing. Your team completes a live project in SEMA, supported by our technical trainers — while creating a reusable component library and standardized outputs like BOMs and shop drawings.
